Thank you for sharing! I am Race’s mom, Joan Betancourt. I am honored that you shared this in your publication. We are so proud of Race for realizing his dreams. As a matter of fact, we just came across a “book” he wrote when he was 7 saying that he wanted to fly for the Navy when he grew up. #FlyNavy !!
